Nitish will be CM even if RJD wins more seats than JD-U: Lalu

November 05, 2015 21:21

Nitish Kumar will be the chief minister even if RJD wins more seats than JD(U), Lalu Prasad today said.

"Nitish Kumar will be the Chief Minister," Prasad said, in response to a question on who will head the government if RJD wins the maximum seats among 'grand alliance' partners.

He, however, dodged a question on whether his party will demand the deputy chief minister's post.

"Let the results come and everything can be thought upon later. I am already out of race. Whatever work had to be done by me has been done," the RJD supremo added.

After the voting for a high-pitch poll battle came to an end, Prasad claimed that the 'grand alliance' of JD(U), RJD and Congress will get two-third majority and the BJP will get anything between 10 and 40 seats.

"The grand alliance will win more than 190 seats. Ninety per cent of the backward classes, Dalits, minorities and the poorer section of the upper caste have voted for us. Our good spell started from phase 1 and was satisfactory.

"In phases 2,3 and 4, the BJP-led alliance had put in a lot of effort and also had a influence in those regions, but I stayed put in these areas and ensured that they are wiped out," the former Bihar chief minister said.
